"You're beautiful."
She rolled her eyes. "Flattery will get you laid."
"I sure hope so.”

“The more faithful preachers are to the Word of God in their preaching, the more liable they are to the charge of hypocrisy. Why? Because the more faithful people are to the Word of God the higher the message is that they will preach. The higher the message, the further they will be from obeying themselves.”
― R.C. Sproul, quote from The Holiness of God
“he had to do was risk his life to keep her safe from the most vicious assassin order in Europe? And he got to kiss her, at his pleasure? He definitely had struck the better bargain.”

“Civilization was a relentless war that man was doomed to lose eventually. - Pg. 195”
― Robert Harris, quote from Pompeii
“- Obedecer à sociedade? ... - replicou a marquesa, mostrando-se horrorizada. - É daí, senhor, que provêm todos os males. Deus não fez nem uma só lei para a nossa desgraça. Porém, os homens, reunindo-se, falsearam a sua obra. Nós, as mulheres, somo mais maltratadas pela civilização do que fomos pela natureza. Esta impõe-nos penas físicas que os homens não suavizaram, e a civilização desenvolveu sentimentos que eles enganam incessantemente. A natureza sufoca os seres fracos, os homens condenam-nos a viver para lhes oferecerem uma constante desgraça. O casamento, instituição em que hoje se funda a sociedade, faz-nos sentir todo o seu peso: para o homem a liberdade, para as mulheres os deveres. Nós lhes devemos toda a nossa vida, eles devem-nos apenas raros instantes. (...) Pois bem, o casamento, tal como hoje se efetua, afigura-se-me uma prostituição legal. Daí provieram todos os meus sofrimentos. (...) Fui a própria autora do mal, tendo desejado esse casamento.”
― Honoré de Balzac, quote from A Woman Of Thirty
“He yells, "I want any part of you that you’re willing to give me!"
We both fall quiet. Breathing hard. Staring each other down.
And his voice drops low. Defeated. "I’ll take anything, Kate.
Just . . . don’t tell me it’s over. I won’t accept that.”
― Emma Chase, quote from Twisted

Having Our Say: The...BookQuoters is a community of passionate readers who enjoy sharing the most meaningful, memorable and interesting quotes from great books. As the world communicates more and more via texts, memes and sound bytes, short but profound quotes from books have become more relevant and important. For some of us a quote becomes a mantra, a goal or a philosophy by which we live. For all of us, quotes are a great way to remember a book and to carry with us the author’s best ideas.
We thoughtfully gather quotes from our favorite books, both classic and current, and choose the ones that are most thought-provoking. Each quote represents a book that is interesting, well written and has potential to enhance the reader’s life. We also accept submissions from our visitors and will select the quotes we feel are most appealing to the BookQuoters community.
Founded in 2023, BookQuoters has quickly become a large and vibrant community of people who share an affinity for books. Books are seen by some as a throwback to a previous world; conversely, gleaning the main ideas of a book via a quote or a quick summary is typical of the Information Age but is a habit disdained by some diehard readers. We feel that we have the best of both worlds at BookQuoters; we read books cover-to-cover but offer you some of the highlights. We hope you’ll join us.
